Configuring the Module 3 - 17
Modem Init Strings and Hangup Strings
This section describes the format of the modem:
❑ Init Strings
❑ Hangup Strings
To allow the RMON MultiProbe Module to communicate with a modem or
a serial data switch, use the modem Init String and Hangup String. The
strings contain embedded commands to control how the module interacts
with a remote device through the serial interface. Commands are
represented as 2-character sequences beginning with the ^ character.
Table 3-5 describes the modem Init Strings and Hangup Strings that the
RMON MultiProbe Module supports.
Note: Command characters are case-sensitive.
Table 3-5. Modem Init Strings and Hangup Strings
Command Result
^s Sends string that follows, which is terminated by the
next command or the end of string.
^c Delays for the number of seconds that follows. Discard
any data received instead of storing it in a buffer for
parsing.
^t Sets timeout to the value represented by the decimal
digits that follow. The default timeout is 20 seconds. The
timeout may be overridden by a smaller serial Timeout
configured for the associated serial interface.
